1960 Map of Cherokee Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Glacial water systems and dense woodlands dominate this landscape within the Superior National Forest and Minnesota State Forest. The intricate network of lakes, including the prominent Frost Lake and the winding Frost River, illustrates the complex hydrology of Cook County before modern development significantly altered these wilderness areas. Based on 1958 aerial photography and field-checked in 1960, this document reveals the specific contours of water bodies like Gunstock Lake, Town Lake, and the uniquely named Octopus Lake. The map identifies numerous smaller basins such as Squish Lake, Noodle Lake, and Guard Lake, providing a precise record of the shoreline and elevation data compiled by the Minnesota Department of Conservation. This survey serves as a vital point of reference for understanding the primitive state of the Iron Range region during the mid-twentieth century.
